A bit about Barbara

A strong and versatile communicator, I have spent 34 years working in public relations, marketing, advertising, promotion, and graphic design. I'm committed to conducting my professional and personal life with integrity and am driven by a desire to do the best possible job for my clients at a rate they can afford, and to make working together enjoyable and mutually rewarding.

A native of western New York, I lived and worked in New York City before relocating to the West Coast in the mid-1980s. Before starting my own enterprise, I worked at PR and ad agencies, a television network affiliate, and the late, often great Opera Pacific.
